In this instance, no incoming (or outgoing) SDI or XLR connection is even required. All
you need to do is connect both TalkShow to the same network that hosts the TriCaster.
Ideally, this will be a local network that is not in heavy use for purposes unrelated to
your production, as opposed to a busy corporate network. Since TalkShow has two
network connectors, you have a great deal of flexibility in routing network traffic to best
advantage.
Note: The TalkShow and TriCaster systems must be on the same subnet.

Often, though, you may wish to supply the audio for the Skype Return from an external
audio mixer using traditional analog cabling. In this case, you should connect your
Return audio source to one or both of the XLR connectors on TalkShow’s rear panel
marked AUDIO IN (shown at right in Figure 7).
Note: Regardless of the means you use to supply audio to be returned to the remote caller, you
will want to take steps to ensure you use an audio feed that does not include the caller’s own
contribution to the audio mix, in order to avoid a confusing echo problem at the remote location.
This special type of mix is commonly referred to as a ‘mix-minus’, since it consists of ‘program
audio’ minus ‘caller audio’.
